| Geology of the Challacollo Project |
|
|
Geologically, Challacollo is located along a strong north-south lineament that includes a number of copper deposits to the north, with a possible east-west lineament postulated between major copper deposits to the east and Challacollo. As a result, Challacollo is considered highly prospective for the discovery of additional mineralization.
